Vote Smart's Synopsis:

Vote to pass a bill that reduces the oil extraction tax rate.

Highlights:

  • Reduces the oil extraction tax rate from 6.5 percent to 5 percent of the gross value of the oil extracted at the well, regardless of the average price of a barrel of oil, effective January 1, 2016 (Secs. 3 & 8).
  • Specifies that if the average price of a barrel of crude oil exceeds $90 for 3 consecutive months, then the tax rate on oil extracted from all taxable wells is 6 percent until the average price of a barrel of crude oil is less than $90 for 3 consecutive months, in which case the tax rate reverts to 5 percent (Sec. 3).
